It's not banned your thread is either deleted or moved to a different board where the moderators can only see it.
I never did not make a fake statistic.
You won't but others who have tons of alt accounts can easily reply what they prefer and fake it.
Seriously, i had read the post of one old user where he gave advice to ask merit if information can be useful.
Putting a merit reminder at the end of a post is not against the rules but every time I see these type of posts it discourages me even more to give merit because it feels like you're being forced to do it.
